This new guy MC shows some promising talent. Look for him in the future.
Call it here first. WAT? What? Haven't you heard about MC? He's an excellent up and coming protoss foreigner who's going to Korea after this. I expect he'll do ok in the gsl.
I heard he might actually be one of those brood war pros or something. I could be wrong. Someone told me the same thing about whitera but Hot_bid confirmed he had only been playing for ~6 months. Same confusion for some people with mc?

From what I have seen Stephano's ZvT was much better than Nerchio's so I definitely favor Puma, but Nerchio does more crazy stuff so he can definitely take it.
I fear for Mana as current PvZ is hard for Protoss, but I want him to go further, because I think he is the only non-Korean who can take PuMa, assuming PuMa did not throw the games they played, but I doubt that.
MC and Socke should win.
Well his ZvT was much better in 1 game. The other 2 Puma pretty much rolled him. But there's gonna be some great matches today I'm looking forward to it :D.

I mean, saying things like nerchio can go win a GSL title when he hasn't even gone to Korea to test his mettle yet is a bit silly, especially considering his mixed results against Koreans (losing to MC playing random, Yong, and Hwangsin while doing as well as he is in this tournament and defeating lesser known Koreans in TL opens). I'm not saying he's bad or other players like MaNa and Stephano, but it's just ridiculous when they haven't actually went and tried yet.

I wonder if MinChul can overcome his on stage nerves and defeat Select, the Korean Terran. I loved his builds vs Kas, very MCesque. lol what? not sure if you're trolling anyway I'll go with puma, socke, mc and mana LOOOL. http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=255757Read the last article about MinChul in the preview.
again im not sure if you're trolling me, because this mc article is clearly a trolling one...

«rolled»... He shoved bunkers and turrets down his throat after an 11-11 and dropped 15 marines, he's definitly killable if you don't fall for his gimmicks.

Puma only looks really good when he gets an advantage early on through risky / cheesy builds.
If both play straight up, he loses most of his games as far as i've seen so far.
(Of course he's a very very good player, but he relies on an early advantage that he knows to
exploit through the whole game)

I still believe that Stephano lost the last game because of misclicked zerglings. If his lings are in his base, Puma cannot unload his drops, and Stephano easily gets infestors out in time to deal with additional harassment.

Stephano's vT is comfortably better than Nerchio's imo. He constantly loses to players like Kas and was 3-0'd by LucifroN recently. I expect PuMa to win pretty easily, but I hope to be proved wrong.
MaNa has improved his PvZ a LOT lately, which is weird as he was so bad at it when protoss was doing well vs Zerg, now he's good at it when protoss really struggles against zerg  He should beat mOOnGLaDe.

Well I was reading some of the Stephano comments. He told me that he thinks he lost some of his games because he was playing too* aggressive. hmm! @_@!
